If an app is part of 2 repositories, which is installed when in terminal?

[finny388]

I have Transmission v1.92 installed from the regular repositories through Synaptic.

I see I can get Transmission v2.0 via:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install transmission

how does the install command choose which to install?

also, do I need to uninstall before updating?

thanks

Now I can't really explain the inner working of APT, but by default, it will install the newest version available of the selected program, and generally speaking you do not have to uninstall older versions before upgrading, Apt will do that automatically.
